Andy Warhol’s Panties Could Fetch Six Figures

A pair of dime-store panties Andy Warhol bought in 1982 is now worth six figures, according to “Antiques Roadshow.”

Warhol drew an image of Mickey Mouse on the frilly drawers — purchased at the old Lamston’s department store in Union Square — and gave them to his friend Titti Wachtmeister.

Titti died in 1992, but her sister Anna Wachtmeister took the undies to a recent taping of the TV show, and explained why Warhol was beholden to her sister: Titti and Richard and Robert Dupont introduced Warhol to liquor importer Michel Roux — leading to the artist’s Absolut Vodka campaign.
